The brief impact only made the suspicious person unconscious for a short time. After just a few words, the person showed signs of waking up. Qichuan Yuan felt the skinny wrist in his hand twisting, as if a dry stick suddenly came to life like an animal. His scalp tingled and he subconsciously loosened his hand, completely forgetting that he had already half-dragged the person up.

Then there was another crisp sound of a head hitting the hard floor, and the man was completely motionless.

"Feel sorry!"

An apology came out of his mouth without thinking, and Sugawa Gen realized belatedly that he had done something stupid. He took a few steps back stiffly and looked at the four elementary school students at the door. He smiled awkwardly:

"Are you here to see me and Conan?"

Guangyan felt a phantom pain at the back of his head. He touched his head involuntarily and said with a wry smile, "Ah, yes..."

It hurts so much when I hear that. Brother Qichuan, did he really not do that on purpose?

The detective boys all turned on the flashlights that the doctor made for them. The lights were not too bright, but they could illuminate the small secret room. They soon noticed that the person who fainted on the ground looked very familiar, with gray hair, wrinkles all over his face, and he was still wearing the clothes he wore when they met in the afternoon.

Ayumi exclaimed, "It's that old lady! Why did she faint here?"

The little girl was very polite and kind-hearted. She frowned and felt that it was not nice to leave the old man on the ground like this.

"Let's go and help her up."

Qichuan Gen raised his hand to stop the little girl's actions and looked at the person on the ground thoughtfully.

"Be careful, this person is very agile, is she really an old lady?"

"Isn't it? She looks like an old lady!" Yuan Tai retorted, "Brother Qichuan, are you so scared that you can't even recognize an old lady?"

Qichuan Yuan Dead Fish Eyes:...You are the one who was scared silly.

Genta is really a fool. He still doesn't understand the answer even though it's given to him. Qichuan Yuan was speechless and complained. But what made him happy was that Mitsuhiko quickly understood what he meant.

"No! I remember the noble young master said that the old lady broke her leg in the secret room many years ago. She still needs a wheelchair. It is impossible for her to walk independently without any tools."

Ayumi stepped back in fear, "Yes! The old lady has always needed a wheelchair, this person must not be the old lady!"

"Who is she then?" Yuan Tai finally turned around, with some cold sweat on his head, "I know, she can't be..."

Everyone looked at Yuanta, expecting him to say something. However, this guy just circled around like a headless fly, ran to Sugawa Gen's legs and hugged them for a sense of security, and shouted in a trembling voice:

"She can't be a ghost!"

Others: “…”

We don't know if she is a ghost or not, but you are such a coward.

"Idiot, how is that possible? Mitsuhiko couldn't help but complain, "Please look carefully, this person has a shadow, ghosts don't have shadows."

Huiyuan sighed: "I've said it before, there are no ghosts in this world! Those are just made up by adults to scare children. You have to believe in science, understand?"

"We are still unsure who this person is, but we absolutely cannot allow this suspicious person to continue to move freely."

Gen Sugawa patted Yuanta's head and asked him to let go of him.

"Is there any rope nearby? We need to tie her up. If she is really a dangerous person, it will save us some trouble."

Hearing this, the children began to search their bodies for anything long. When they found nothing, they suddenly raised their heads and looked at the scarf around the neck of the unconscious person on the ground.

Isn't this a ready-made tool?

"Yoshi, Qichuan Yuan tied the man's hands tightly and tied a knot. He clapped his hands and said, "Let's go and find Conan."

Even the darkest road is not so scary if you have someone to accompany you. And when there are a group of chattering elementary school students around you, you will not feel scared, and you may even find it a bit noisy.

At some point, the tension in Genki's heart disappeared after Genta shouted "Kamen Rider, transform!" for the umpteenth time.

He expressionlessly grabbed Genta, who had missed a step because he was running around casually, and felt Conan's tiredness when facing these children at an inopportune time.

"Be careful and watch your feet."

"Got it!" Yuantai jumped down from Qichuan Gen's hands nimbly, and ran forward excitedly with a flashlight in his hand. He looked so arrogant and aggressive, as if the person who had just curled up into a ball at the door was not him.

Yuan Tai jumped up and shouted for the nth time: "Kamen Rider, transform!"

"Ha! Just surrender, Kamen Rider!" Mitsuhiko chased after him, waving his hands exaggeratedly and making a deliberately low voice.

Like a concerned parent, Ayumi followed behind them, showing them the way, and helplessly reminded them, "Be careful, both of you!"

"It's really not easy to be Conan Edogawa"

Ai Huihara followed Sugawa Gen and looked at the three lively children in front of her. She felt some empathy:

"I am tortured by these guys every day."

Her tired tone like a little adult coupled with her childish voice made Qichuan Yuan chuckle. He bent down, rubbed Huibara Ai's head, and said with a smile:

"But from now on, Edogawa Conan won't be the only one who's tired."

Haibara Ai was stunned for a moment, and looked at Sugawa Gen with a gentle smile, her voice full of joy and teasing:

"Right, little Haibara Ai."

"From now on, you two will be partners in the same trench," said Gen Sugawa, pulling Ai Haibara with brisk steps to catch up with the three children in front, "The detective boys of Teitan Elementary School."

Maybe because she had been with these kids for too long, her mentality had become quite childish. Haibara Ai couldn't help but puff out her cheeks, and followed behind Sugawa Gen angrily without saying anything.

After walking for a distance, they entered a dark cave. Mitsuhiko and Ayumi quickly grabbed Genta, who had missed a step again. They finally stopped playing around and looked at the road carefully.

This road was the same one Conan had walked. When they reached the intersection of the steps and the flat ground, they were also attracted by the characters carved on the stone on the ground. They gathered around the stone bricks and carefully identified the blurred handwriting - "This person replaced me and wanted to steal the treasure of the castle. Is it a treasure?"

The last word was written very lightly, as if it had been worn away by something, or as if it had not been engraved at the time, and it was blurry and difficult to recognize. However, from the meaning of this sentence, it is easy to associate what the last word is.

Qichuan Yuan narrowed his eyes and noticed that the ground nearby was very dusty and messy, and the footprints were of varying depths and sizes, as if someone had walked around here repeatedly.

Those larger footprints should be the footprints of the woman just now, and the remaining small footprints can only be from Conan.

Conan had been here before, and Sugawa Gen followed the footprints. However, he saw a blurry white object where the darkness and dim light intersected.

He patted Huihara Ai's head and said, "Raise the light and look ahead."

Do you think of me as a tool?

Ai Huibara glanced at her unscrupulous brother and resignedly raised her wrist to illuminate the front.

However, the extremely shocking scene in front of her really made her heart skip a beat. Her whole body trembled with the light, and the gray light also flickered strangely on the white bones in the corner of the wall.

The skinny bones under the tattered clothes looked unusually white under the lamplight, and the silvery-white hair lying under the skull flashed with tiny silver lights, like a distress signal that was still struggling. It seemed that these words on the ground must have been carved by this person.

Ayumi didn't expect to see such an exciting scene. Her pupils shrank and she couldn't help but scream: "Ah! It's a corpse!"

Sister Haibara Ai naturally held Ayumi, who was rushing towards her, and regained her composure. She looked at the corpse on the ground with a calm expression and analyzed:

"The deceased died about three or four years ago. The normal human body decays in two to three years. The low temperature and good airtightness of the sealed room have prolonged the preservation time of the body to a certain extent. Hair is made of protein and is the most difficult to decay. It is normal to have hair on the head. This is a normal body. Don't be afraid."

No, I'm not afraid because she's abnormal. I'm just afraid of corpses. Now that you say that, I'm even more scared.

Ayumi quietly let go of Haibara Ai and silently hid behind Sugawa Gen. Looking at Haibara Ai who said these words calmly, she always felt cold in her heart.

However, Haibara Ai seemed unaware that she had said something terrible, and was still analyzing the possible cause of death of the deceased. Qichuan Gen's eyelids twitched, and he looked at her with an indescribable look - what a bad taste, is it so fun to scare children?

Sugawa Gen coughed dryly and changed the subject forcefully:

"By the way, Conan might have disappeared around here."

Haibara Ai stopped talking at the right time and looked at Sasakawa Gen with a smile. Come on, I didn’t know who likes to bully kids the most before.

Every time she bullied the kids, she would throw the rotten things to her. Finally, the situation has changed and she wants to let Qichuan Yuan experience this feeling of exhaustion.

"This secret room is full of dust. It must have never been cleaned. But this is also convenient for us."

Gen Saikawa diverted the attention of several children so that they would not be so scared.

"Look, there are many large and small footprints near this corpse. And the footprints are very fresh. We have never stepped on these places. It can only be the footprints of Conan and the woman at the door."

"And, did you notice that there were actually two pairs of footprints starting from the stairs? But the smaller footprints suddenly disappeared here, leaving only the larger footprints."

"I know!" Mitsuhiko raised his hand, "Conan must have been discovered when he walked here, and was caught and taken away by that woman!"

“Yes.”

Sugawa Gen patted Mitsuhiko's head with great satisfaction, "If you understand, let's go. Conan is still waiting for us."

With a clear goal, the fear in the detective team's hearts dissipated, and they shouted with great momentum: "Hi!"

"Conan, hold on a little longer, we'll be there soon!"
